Adipocytes anatomically associated with lymph nodes (and omental milky spots) have many
special properties including fatty acid composition and the control of lipolysis that equip …

The effects of repeated local immune challenges with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) over 24h on
basal and noradrenaline-stimulated lipolysis and the development of sensitivity to …

To explore the hypothesis that proliferating lymphoid cells in immune-stimulated lymph
nodes obtain nutrients locally from adjacent adipose tissue, adult guinea pigs were fed for 6 …

Adipose tissue provides the body with a storage depot of nutrients that is drained during
times of starvation and replenished when food sources are abundant. As such, it is the …

Until a decade ago, fat tissue had been exclusively considered as an endocrine organ. The
emerging functional characterization of adipokines as well as adipocytes and preadipocytes …

Adipose tissue develops in and/or around most lymphoid tissues in mammals and birds.
Early reports of this widespread association and hypotheses for its functional basis were …

Spontaneous lipolysis in the adipocytes surrounding the popliteal lymph node rose within 1
h of its being activated with a subcutaneous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), reached a …

Besides adipocytes, specialized in lipid handling and involved in energy balance regulation,
white adipose tissue (WAT) is mainly composed of other cell types among which …

Studies of immunity typically focus on understanding how hematopoietic cells interact within
conventional secondary lymphoid tissues. However, immune reactions and their regulation …

Obesity, defined as the excess development of adipose tissue, is an important risk factor for
metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and …
